Loved Ergo Proxy and Beck/Mongolian Chop Squad.(Damn the jerk who stole it)

Mostly I like cute stuff like Azu Manga Daioh, Ouran Host Club, Fruits Basket, and Wallflower.

However, I recently got into a Manga called 'King of Thorns' and another called 'Until Death Do Us Part'.

Films : Paprika, Perfect Blue, The Tokyo Godfathers and Millenium Actress (cried like a damn baby). Also a fan of Asian Horror and action.

JAWS!!! Don't know what this has to do with anything but it is in fact, the greatest film ever made.


This is about 'Chick Flicks', not 'Chicks getting turned into Fishsticks'.

As for JAWS, I would love to burst your bubble on that. The opening scenes are really great. HOWEVER, The kill scene in the end is total bullsh*t. Its scientifically impossible, and when they told Steven Spielberg that, he said, "The audience will believe what I want them to believe."

He was right and he might be able to make a class- A film, but he is a Class-A tool.

It does threaten their masculinity...
they need to be needed


Oh...I still don't want to pretend to be something I'm not though.

Fact is, majority of men do not want to "feel" (notice I said "feel") that they are being controlled by a woman. And, no matter what women say, in the guy community, this is the number one thing that we always look for in a woman. Will she try to control me? Will she want to dominate my life if we get serious? Will I really have to just always answer "Yes Dear"? And the fact is, even if a woman is passive in certain areas of her life, if she is controlling, or critical, or seems to always want to "make constructive criticism", it makes a dude weary and makes him want out (or to break it off before it even begins).

They can admire you for how strong you are. How you handle adversity. But when it comes to relationships, or even just dating, majority of men do not want a woman who THAT strong willed. It's fact, and since I know so many chicks who go through this, I can call this a "Goof fact". Haha!



It seems complicated to me.

Goofy I definitely have down. Pretending to be a person who doesn't know what to do with herself...isn't that like lying to the guy?

You make it sound like guys aren't even willing to give a woman a chance b/c it 'might' threaten their masculinity. I guess i wouldn't want to be around a guy who was scared like that anyway.

Just watched The Holiday with Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz.

I really loved it. By the time the credits rolled I was unaware of the giant smile on my face. Kate Winslet's character, Iris, had some really great lines about emotional depth of loving someone who won't love you back.

I just wanted to kiss Jack Black right through the screen.

Did I mention that I loved it?

As I didn't dig deep enough for a post of it, I think it would be great if we listed a CHICK FLICK and why we love it.

I guess the bottom line is...depends on the person.

I have dated older men with the emotional maturity of a 12 year old. My best friend is dating a 22 year old, I would easily consider a man by comparison to the 30 year old boys I see running around.

My only advice is...hell, I have no advice. Go for it and I wish you the best of luck.

I have been taking care of myself since I was 14, my background has forced me to be forward and keep fighting the good fight. When a guy talks to me, I seem to have it all together and they admire my strong personality. However, they are not attracted to it.

The guys that are attracted me, think that my forceful attitude and strong nature translates to the bedroom behavior.

I'm just the opposite. I'm just letting everyone know, it can be that way for a lot of people.

I just try to take care of myself and survive each day. It's called 'self-preservation'. That doesn't mean that people like myself want to be the boss of EVERYTHING.

When people make that misconception, they are usually in for a surprise or even a disappointment.

Ouch! Pretty Spot On Equus. I won't deny it, maybe I should alter my perspective with guys I get interested in... Treat them like potential mates for other people. hmmmmm.

[My mom chose to stay home with us because she didn't want my brother or I to be latch-key kids. However, both my parents discussed it and made the decision together. That didn't stop her from expecting equal treatment, and my dad was extremely involved with both of us growing up teaching us "manly" things. Our house was fairly balanced and we were expected to do everything necessary to keep basic house.

My whole immediate family are feminists.



You are so very lucky to have a family that thought about their children's needs in such a way. I think that is a family system I could come to admire and I hope I am lucky enough to raise a family in the same manner.

You are not a moron...like you said you just have no senses...you just don't see through people like some people can...


Thanks to everyone, its really refreshing to hear positive people. I'm not being sarcastic either, I really mean that.

My friends and family are constantly introducing me to their potential mates b/c i can sniff out character flaws. I don't get interested in their choices b/c I just put a wall there.

However, when I meet someone I might be interested in, my brain goes right out the window. And the 'Fairy Tale Optimism Princess' shows up.

EXAMPLE: My brother set me up with a guy. We met up for coffee, he talked alot about a girl he was still in love with. I thought he was sweet and we went out a few times. Nothing happened.

Two weeks later I see a news report that the guy was on trial for the murder of that girl from a year ago. He was out on bail at the time we dated!

I have learned a hard lesson...

Don't drink and write on a lonely Friday Night (hey! that rhymes!), when you are still bitter about your ex.

Being told how wrong I was is a humbling experience, and I have decided its an awesome character builder.

Gwen, I am actually concerned for you, please get your blood pressure checked. It's been two days and you are still going strong. You are gonna give yourself a heart attack, and I'm pretty sure no one here is into necrophilia (all those guys need is a name and a shovel).

As far as my crass venting: I know that no one who actually does this behavior will ever listen to me.

As far as my title is concerned: You clicked on it, didn't you? Get a sense of humor.

Love Always,
Shayna

Not surprised at all. If you crushed his little marbles, he wouldn't sing any higher!!

Every generation has their little 'crush'. My niece is a Bieber girl, my older niece loved Timberlake, my sister was into Back Street Boys, and before I discovered Kurt Cobain, I loved Donnie Wahlberg.

Welcome to reality. Before we get dirty-minded, we have to have our 'make-out' crush. The boy we wish we could kiss, because we have no idea what happens next.

Haven't been a fan until I saw the movie of his life, but I always loved his version of 'Hurt' by Trent Reznor. Love to sing it at kareoke.

'The Flame' by Cheap Trick

Its the way I feel when I am in love, and how I wish he would be with me.
